About our bath re-enamelling in Prees Wood
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Prees Wood as everywhere else we work.

Prees Wood: your questions answered
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Prees Wood?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work in Prees Wood?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Prees Wood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Prees Wood. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
